I put a USB drive into the port of my TCL-Roku TV and up popped a window saying that they intended to share its contents with its "partners." Then I read Roku's privacy policy. I said screw this and decided to take the television's internet privileges away. So all I'm using now are the screen and its audio-handling -- ARC and CEC circuits. This worked out well enough that I made another, with just a monitor instead of a TV at all. It is different in operation, but in my estimation better. and far more private.
